JD 95 Hillside

I am cleaning out an old computer and came across some combine pictures I have saved. Cutting wheat on the hillsides in the Palouse Washington area is on my bucket list. I would love to own a Hillside machine; what a great toy it would be.

Great picture! I see the ole 95 has a straight pipe to get the last bit of horsepower. Hard for a flatlander to believe a combine could adjust that far to keep it level.
 
I acctually saw one(roundback) last year.You climb the ladder on the left,cross behind the engine,follow the 'catwalk' on right side to cab.Notice the handrail on the side .
 
What kind of soil is that? Why doesn't erosion kill them? Does it always tilt so the auger is on the uphill side?
 
They dont get heavy rains there so erosion isnt a big problem....It used to all be plowed but no-till is big now....The combine will level either way but with the auger out thats the side I'd want uphill....

I'm with Roger on wanting to drive or ride in a hillside combine..I have a standing over to ride in one but will probably never make it back out there..We were in Washington,Idaho,and Oregon just before harvest started in July 2001..
 
Florida gets more rain than Washington. In Washington it rains 1/2 inch at a time, drizzles, rarely is there a down pour so the soil doesn't wash much. Most land is no-till now. I was told yields can be 80/90 bu. or higher. The unload auger can be uphill or down.
 
The 6600's 6620 and 9500 sidehill machines that used to be very common here only leveled to 17 % not near as steep as what you're showing. I didn't own 1 but a neighbor told me you never got off with the ladder on the lower side, it was a heckuva step.
